Yet another bottle of Vénus Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2011 by Pascal Agrapart totally sways me away, and rather consistently.
A perfect specimen of Avize bubbly treasure, an immaculate combination of rye bread and toasted brioche with mousse of yellow stone fruits, playful and very balanced on the palate, fantastic depth and this everlasting charm.
Definitely the best Agrapart I’ve had, and a rare récoltant Champagne which it a true Grande Cuvée.
Bottled in May 2012, disgorged in January 2018.

Damn, I’m totally in love with Dugat-Py, over and over again, and this Gevrey-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes Les Evocelles 2016 is just another perfectly made manifestation of this adoration.
A young and maybe still somewhat edgy wine, it has purest fruit and red morello cherries, so sexy and sensual I’m was totally knocked out, swayed by it. Sure, a bit tannic still, dry on the palate, but this is distilled energy in the glass.
Miraculously, outside, in warm Dubai air, it comes forward much much more appealing than indoors.
Wow!
